  2. High School Readiness ProgramOverview • Use online learning and assessment system • In 8th grade math classes • Along with technology-appropriate pedagogy • To improve student’s test scores • By giving students more individual attention • Getting students to “do” more math than they have ever done before • Using tools that today’s students prefer

  5. High School Readiness ProgramThe Plan • Professional Development Workshop to train teachers 1. Technology: MyMathLab by Pearson Education 2. Pedagogy: Redesigned course delivery 3. Content: Math homework • Implement in Fall 2011 • Follow with support throughout academic year

  6. 1. Technology: MyMathLab • web-based learning and assessment system • algorithmically-generated math exercises • immediate grading of homework with constructive feedback for incorrect answers • allows multiple attempts of Similar Exercise • interactive Help Me Solve This • static View an Example • exercise and section videos • easily adaptable to curriculum changes • quizzes and tests built and customized • personalized homework from quizzes and tests

  7. MyMathLab Homework Exercise

  8. MyMathLab View an Example

  9. 2. Pedagogy:Redesigned Course Delivery • Teacher-centered whole-class instruction for 1/3 of face-to-face time in traditional classroom setting • Student-centered individual instruction for 2/3 of face-to-face time in computer lab setting

  10. Preparation for teacher-centered whole-class instruction Preparation for student-centered individual instruction

  11. 3. Content: Math Homework In order to be “certified” by the LDOE to participate in this program, teachers must complete all homework in MyMathLab that 8th grade math students will be required to do for the year by the end of the workshop – with 100% accuracy.

  12. Teachers Doing Homework

  13. High School Readiness Program Origin • Based on highly successful LSU College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Precalculus course redesign program • Spin-off of the LSU College Readiness and Dual Enrollment Program

  22. High School Readiness ProgramWorkshops Region I • 59 8th grade math teachers from Region I representing 6 parishes • 56 teachers completed the four-day workshop, and 54 teachers completed all of the student homework with 100% mastery and received certification • 37 teachers piloting this in Spring 2011 with the remainder fully implementing the program in the academic year 2011-12

  23. High School Readiness ProgramWorkshops Regions II and III • 8th grade math teachers • Held in computer lab at LSU • 9 AM to 4 PM Monday, June 6, and Thursday, June 9 Monday, June 27, and Thursday, June 30 • 24 hours face-to-face and ~20 hours independent work • No cost to districts or teachers for workshop • $500 stipend to teachers completing the workshop

  24. High School Readiness ProgramPartnership Success requires LDOE and district partnership!

  25. High School Readiness Program LA Dept of Ed will ... • Provide training workshop for teachers in Summer 2011 (Phoebe Rouse, LSU Precalculus Mathematics and College Readiness Program Director) • Provide follow-up support throughout the academic year
